I remember it as though it was yesterday - in fact, it WAS yesterday. It's been freezing here for the last few days, but we've had some good sunshine and there has been some drying. There's another load of washing to go out now. We only use the dryer if absolutely necessary as electricity is so expensive. We do have a clothes pulley and a clothes horse. If we set up the clothes horse along with a dehumidifier, it's much more efficient than using a drier.
